The solution is to upgrade to CS5. Adobe never fixed the bug in CS4, so I ended up (at the time) importing the clips into an editing program called Edius, and exported separate WAV files for Premiere

You can expand (or magnify) the track view in the timeline, by dragging the entire track down (in the left column, drag underneath the name of the track, "Audio 2" for instance). This way, keyframing
